Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make...

I’ve kind of grown to hate the trope (especially in fanfic) where a character looks at their newborn baby for the first time and: "They had never seen anything more beautiful. They didn't know it was possible to love this deeply. They knew they would lay down their life for this small, perfect being in an instant."

I know that many new parents feel this way about their newborns, and objectively I know that's a beautiful thing. But I just can't relate to it at all. (I don't have kids, and I probably won't have kids.)

I just really want some fics where the character feels kind of blank, or trapped, or just overwhelmed and scared, or anything other than blissfully ecstatic. Especially if the character didn’t really want kids when the pregnancy storyline began (which is pretty common).

Ooh, same, anon. From what my friends who have children have told me, it’s common to feel both, “How did we make something so beautiful?” and, “Fuck, how the hell am I gonna keep this tiny human alive?” at the same time.

I nope out of fics/books/films/tv the second someone who doesn't want a kid, is talked into keeping one (yes, I know for film/tv it's usually so they can shoehorn in a real-life pregnancy, but still, it's a no from me).
